Exactly. That is the big wildcard that makes it incredibly difficult to predict what will happen over the course of a few years for any club.
We didn't even get them through free agency, but look at what a difference getting Gehrig, Hamill and Lawrence in one trade week made to us about a decade ago.
Yep, I feel many of us Saints fans are forgetting that a lot of our resurgence a decade ago was not soley (or even primarily I would argue) based on getting youth in. It was down to a very aggressive and succesful pursuit of the above (and adding Luke Penny, Brett Voss and Steven Powell on top of them) at a difficult time for the club that helped put us back on the map. I am really hoping that we can learn from this aggressiveness and show the same sort of stuff this year instead of sitting back thinking "such and such a player wouldn't want to come here." It can be done.
